The mayor of Bigastro, Raul Valerio Medina, is moderately optimistic that the technicians who are responsible for the Carreteras de Murcia will welcome the route for the AP-37 between Orihuela, Bigastro and Jacarilla that he and the mayoress of Orihuela are proposing. Their plan is for the road to pass from Beniel through the marshland of La Pedrera parallel to the water channel that feeds the reservoir. The road would then connect with the future CV-91 via the land corridor between Bigastro and Jacarilla.

What Valerio seems to be suggesting is a route south of Bigastro rather than north through Molins. We’d have to see this on paper to understand the implications.
